1969 Camaro Found in Oklahoma Lake

It's a scene out of a cold case tv show: two classic cars dredged up on land, six skeletons and one big mystery for the Oklahoma troopers who discovered the cars during a test of the departments new sonar equipment in Foss Lake near Foss, Oklahoma.

Police believe the two cars to be from unrelated accidents, and suspect that the '69 Camaro holds the answer to the disappearance of three high school kids last seen in 1970. The second car, described by most news sites as "late '50s" (but looking to us like a '49 or '50 Chevy), could be a couple who disappeared near the lake in the early-1960s. A third skull found nearby may have been a passenger in that car as well.

Obviously we're fascinated by the cars, but the real story here is that some mourning families will finally be able to have answers to questions that have lasted several decades, and to put their relatives to rest.
